Heather Solves Everything

Today we are out for adventure, into the great blue yonder, over the river and through the woods, with Jeremy Rogers, a Tallahassee firefighter with a love for the outdoors that he has turned into an organization called Tallahassee Adventure Club.

We’re going to hear his story of life transformation from the military to mountain climbing, learn about the importance of outdoor experiences for kids, and learn how we can help local kids connect with the outdoors in meaningful ways.

Now, the idea for this show came when I was recently at a summer camp with my son, and the day came for us to go swimming at the lake. For some kids, this was a regular occurrence, and for others it was the first time they had ever been in open water. Seeing their initial trepidation, fear, beginnings of confidence and trust, and eventual joy that they were not sinking, made me pick up my phone and call Jeremy, because I wanted to explore this topic more and revitalize our conversation about the Tallahassee Adventure Club.

Today in the studio is someone who I admire for her eco-friendly ways. Her name is Alix Kalfin, and the reason I have invited her here today is because the problem we are solving is creating environmentally sustainable habits.

Alix has gone from doubter to advocate and I am curious about why, how, and what her advice is for people like me, who want to do better but don’t know where to start.

In addition to being an inspiration to me, Alix is the mom of two boys, wife of a wildlife biologist -slash - powerlifter, and a business owner. She is an advocate for local community projects, and especially passionate about the Alzheimer's Project, where she manages communications and social media through her consulting firm, AK Social Strategies. 

Now yall know that Heather Solves Everything is a show about tapping into your unique strengths to solve the everyday problems that we all face in life. Today, we’re going to talk about how to start small to go big in how we manage our relationship with the earth.

My guests today are Inger Daniels-Hollar and Kylene Gay, two people who are lighting up different corners of the world with their can-do attitude and curiosity about life.

The problem? That feeling when you sign up to do something and then you think, “THIS ISN’T ME AT ALL!” 

We’re going to hear from Inger about how she jumped into entrepreneurship as a woman of color in a male-dominated field and how she works with women to help them build wealth.

Then we’re going to meet Kylene, back from a backpacking trip that took her way out of her comfort zone and into a new level of confidence and curiosity about what her limits really are.

And, I’m going to get coachy on ya with some tips for telling that voice of self-doubt to get lost. 

Are y'all ready? Let’s get into it.

Welcome to Heather Solves Everything, the show where I take credit for making the world a better place by introducing you to people who actually are.

If you’re a first-time listener, you’re in good company! This is the first time that I have aired this program on the radio, and I am really happy to be here at Real Talk 93.3. Last season, Heather Solves Everything was released as a podcast. In this season, new episodes will be right here on 93.3 on Sundays at 1:00 pm eastern, and the podcast version will be released on Monday mornings. 

The podcast version may have some bits that you don’t get to hear on the air, so tune in for the full recording and be sure to follow the show on Facebook and Instagram, just look for Coach Healthy Heather.

It’s going to be a fun show. Each week there will be guests, stories, games, and even some audience participation. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve ever done a radio show, so I don’t really know what I’m doing. But, this show is all about solving the problems of living life, so we will have an adventure figuring it out together.

I promise to always bring you something to talk about, something to think about, and hopefully something to do something about!

Today’s show is called GO BOLDLY. And yes, it’s taken from the famous quote by Henry David Thoreau, although that’s not actually what he said. 

There are a few versions of his words, the most common of which being “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined.” 

I always thought he said go BOLDLY, but now I know that I had Thoreau mixed up with Captain Kirk. 

But it’s my show and I can do whatever I want. So today, we are channeling both Thoreau and Captain Kirk and going BOLDLY in the direction of our dreams!

But who can go boldly or confidently on their own? No one! That is why I have a guest with me today. Christic Henry is a neighborhood and community advocate that is a driving force for Tallahassee. 

Today we're going to talk about:

• What do you think it means to live boldly or with intention?
• Has there ever been a time when you remember feeling, hearing, or just knowing your purpose in life?
• Why do you think people hold themselves back from bold living?
• What has been a powerful benefit of living boldly and with intention?
• What drives you to pursue your vision for life?

Let's get into it.
